TAILOBS ADJUSTABLE CHART.

Specifimtion of Letters Patent.

Toallwkomitmaycommu Be it known that I, Gnomes K. Stztm.

at kland, in the county of eda. and State of California, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Tailors \djustable Charts, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a tallors chart ortemplet, and particularlypertains to an adjustable chart for tailors use as a sleeve pattern.

It is the object of this mventlon to provide a form or sleeve patternwh1ch 1s so constructed thatit may be ad usted to various sizes. thusobviating the use of a large number of different patterns.

A further object is to provide an ad ustable pattern or chart which issimple in construction, economical in manufacture and easily operated,and in which the use of spreading links, set-screws and similar objectionable mechanical elements are (115- pensed with. Other objectswill appear in the followspecifications e invention consists of theparts and the combination and construction of parts as hereinafter morefully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the pattern for the upperportion of the sleeve, showing 1t in its extended position. Fig. 2 is asimilar View of a portion of the em for the underside of the sleeve.Fig. 3 is a section on the line X X of F L In the drawings m adjustablechart is shown as consisting 0 four separable memhers, indicated at A,B, C, and D, which are slidably connected together as will presently mTifiegrter outline ofntire meman as a unit. co orms to the curvedoutline of the ordinary sleeve pat er-mandthemembersA,B,G,andDaresomountedinrelafiontoeachother, that this outline may be extended orcontracted tosuitthevarioussiztsofpattemsdosired. The membersb A afndcorfipgieted togather ymeanso ap te ,wisrigidlysecuredtothememberBbymeansof rivets 3, or in any other suitablemanner. The late 2 is formed with l'ly dinall slots'i andilsou yexben'ingportmn-is slidably attached to the memsubgeft of the Emperor of Jaan, residing her A by means of rivets 5, which extend through the memberA and through the slots 4 in the plate 2, in such manner that the plate2 may be reciprocated longitudinally in relation to the member A, so asto position the member B with its inner end in contact with the innerend of the member A, or some distance therefrom. The member C has aplate 6 ri 'dly mounted thereon, which plate 6, is slidably connected tothe member A by means of rivets 7 in the latter, which extend through aseries of slots 8 in the plate 6, the slots 8 being disposed parallelwith each other and at an angle in relation to the line of separation abetween the members A-B and CD. The memher D is attached to the member Bin a similar manner, by means of a plate 9 which is rigidly secured tothe member D, and is formed with a series of slots 10 paralleling theslots 8 through which rivets 11 in the member B extend. The members Cand D are connected to ether by means of a plate 12, which is rigidlyattached to the member C and is formed with a pair of parallel slots 13,which slots are parallel with the slots 4 in the plate 2, and throughwhich rivets 14 on the member D extend.

The members A, B, C, and D are preferably formed with frontand back themas shown in Fig. 3, between which the plates 2, 6, 9, and 12 aredisposed; the front and rear portions of the members A, B, C, and Dbeing spaced apart by the plats and by spacmg rings on rivets 15, or inany other suitable manner. It will now be seen that the members A--B andC-D may be disin any desired position in relation to each other, bysliding the plates 6 and 9 on the rivets 7 and 11 carried by the membersA-B, and that the members AC and BD may be disposed in various 'tions inrelation to each other, by sli ing the plates 2 and 12 backward andforward on the rivets 5 and 14.

The dividing line a, between the members A-B and CJ), extends in a stra'htline from the outer ends of the members -C to the outer ends of themembers BD, while between the members A-C and BD the 05 dividing line bis formed at an angle to the line a, and parallel with the slots 8 and10 in the plates 6 and 9, so that when the members A-C are adjacent themembers BD, the members A-B may be moved to and from 110 the membersC-D, at an angle in relation to the dividing line a.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the exterior outline formed bythe members 3 B, C .and 1)maybeextendedtoanyde sired point within therange of the lengths of the slots in the plates 2, 6, 9, and 12, so thata number of patterns varying in width an lengthmaybecutb meansofa singlecharges herein d 0th As a means for determining the len and breadth ofthe chart in its various pmitions, gradnations 16 are formed on theplate 6, and similar %aduations 17 are formed on the platebgfgd 1d and17, are num a e requirements of the chart. Means are provided forspanning the spaces betvvcen the latesA--B and --C,vrhenmthe1rextmedpositiongso as to form a continuous outline, which means are hereshown as consisting of filler plates 18 and 19. Plate 18 is pivoted at20 to the member C with its outer end exten between the front and rearportions 0 the member A, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and thefiller plate 19 is pivoted on one of the rivets 5 carried by the memberA. The outer edges of the filler plates 18 and 19, are curved to d tothe general cur vature or outline o the members adjacent thereto, sothat when the several members are se ted some distance apart, and thefiller plates 1 8 19 are laced with their outer edges in almementerewitb, a continuous outline will be formed so that the operator cantrace a continuous line around the outer edge of the chart or pattern.It is obvious that the outline of the chart may be varied according tothe uses to which it is to spaced apart as shown in L Having thusdescribed my Invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pateat, is-- An improved tailors adjustable chart, comprising a sleeve formwhich consists of four independent rigid sections arranged in pairs; onesection of each pair having a longitudmal slotted plate extension at theinner end, and the other section of the same pair rivets operating 1nthe slots of said extension; one of said sections of one pair having atransverse plate extension p11 vided with slots, and a correspondingsection of the other pair having rivets engaging said second namedslots; filler plates at the ends of the chart secured to a section ofone pair and adapted to overlap the correspondmg section of anotherpair; and a filler late pivoted to a section of one pair and osable overthe end extension of the other section of that pair.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
